H5 



Cheiranthus grandiflorus (Niitt.) 



Erysimum grandifiorum Nutt; T. & G. Fl. N. Av 1: 96. 



1838. 

 This species is quite local, being known only from the type 

 locality, "sand hills of Point Pinos, in the vicinity of Monterey, 

 Upper California." 



Draba ammophila 



Draba Helleri Small, Fl. S. U. S. 479. 1903; not Draba 

 Helleriana Greene, Pittonia, 4: 17. 1899. 



The type of this species is my no. 1379, collected March 5, 

 1894, in sandy soil along the beach at Corpus Christi, Texas, 

 and distributed as a dwarf form of D. cuneifolia. 



Homalobus Wingatanus (Wats.) 



Astragalus Wingatanus Wats. Proc. Am. Acad, 18: 192. 

 1883. 



Homalobus Wingatensis Rydb. Bull. Torn Club, 31; 563. 

 1904.? 



A question mark is added to the last citation, since I merely 

 infer that it belongs here. Dr. Rydberg cites no authority nor 

 place of publication, merely saying: "This species is perhaps 

 closest related to Homalobus wingatensis {A. wingatensis).'''^ 

 I can find no reference in the literature at hand to an Astragalus 

 Wingatensis. 



Three years ago I collected at Donner Pass in the Sierras a 

 plant which was supposed to be a Phlox. To my surprise it 

 proved to belong to the aggregation called Gilia^ which is still 

 in need of pruning, notwithstanding the recent segregations. 

 The genus Leptodactylon should undoubtedly be restored, differ- 

 ing as it does from the typical Gilia of South America in the 

 fact that it is shrubby, with fascicled rigid and pungent leaves, 

 and has flowers of another shape. Up to the present eight 

 named forms have been recognized, all but three already under 

 Leptodactylon^ and these three I now transfer.
